NASPA provides a wonderful opportunity to share and learn from my colleagues across the country. Learning about opportunities, their successes, and even their challenges helps me be better prepared to do the best possible job for Pennsylvania. We truly are stronger when we partner and collaborate together!

Membership in NASPA is invaluable. It gives me immediate access to a brainstrust of pharmacy association executives who have an understanding of the day-to-day and longer term work I do; and can provide critical insight and lessons-learned when facing new opportunities and challenges in state pharmacy. NASPA staff has been an invaluable resource for providing key background and context for policy and practice issues that have aided in the passage of substantial pharmacy-related legislation in Maryland . In addition, NASPA serves as a bridge and sieve for me to get the best out of our engagement with national pharmacy associations.

Since I have seen NASPA from both sides as an Executive and now an Associate Member, I think NASPA provides such a wide array services that are very beneficial to both State Executives and Associate Members. I appreciate everything that NASPA provides.

As I look to how I can best lead our state association, NASPA and its members provide the invaluable experience and resources to fully support my efforts. It is a close-knit network of committed individuals working tirelessly to help support and advance pharmacy practice at a state and national level.

I’ve experienced NASPA both as a state association exec and now as an affiliate that partners with them frequently on pharmacy compounding issues, and I just can’t say enough good things about the professionalism of the NASPA team, their openness to collaboration, and their passion for helping state pharmacy associations accomplish the important work they do for pharmacists and patients.

NASPA has been my support system since I started in this role. Having colleagues who understand the challenges of this position and I can ask questions of has helped me from day one. I also appreciate the camaraderie of those in this organization especially at national events.

NASPA is an excellent organization that provides state pharmacy associations a mechanism to network and learn from each other. The voice they provide for us on a national level is invaluable in representing the interests of our members.

Being a NASPA member helps me to envision the future of pharmacy by interacting with state, national and even international leaders in the profession. This contact allows me to help pharmacists in Kansas ready themselves for inevitable changes in the way they practice pharmacy.
